For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.

They are available in wide varieties and their preferences may vary according to the regional demands. Easy access of global information and exposure of various bakery products has increased the demand for bakery ingredients. Baking ingredients offer several advantages such as reduced costs, volume enhancement, better texture, colour, and flavour enhancement. For example, ingredients such enzymes improve protein solubility and reduce bitterness in end products, making enzymes one of the most preferred ingredients in the baking industry. Every ingredient in a recipe has a specific purpose. It's also important to know how to mix or combine the ingredients properly, which is why baking is sometimes referred to as a science. There are reactions in baking that are critical to a recipe turning out correctly. Even some small amount of variation can dramatically change the result. Whether its breads or cake, each ingredient plays a part.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

  • 1 Jerome Jacobsen Mahtomedi High School Mahtomedi, MN Yemen
    Jerome Jacobsen Mahtomedi High School Mahtomedi, MN Yemen, Factor 2 Global Cooperative to Build Water Infrastructure in Yemen “Under a staircase, clinging to a wall of Sana'a's Grand Mosque, groups of women and children lug plastic canisters to the leaky spigots of a public fountain. Small children struggle with canisters as they weave slowly between the fountain and the pushcarts used to wheel the water back home (Time).” Whether in cities or rural villages throughout Yemen, this is how millions of Yemenis obtain their water supply. In a country where water is almost never available, free public fountains are the only option for most, as very few can afford to pay the sky-high price for water. Water scarcity is becoming a chronic and debilitating problem for all of Yemen. On average, each Yemeni has access to a mere 140 cubic meters of water per year for all of their needs. This is less than fifteen percent of the Middle East water access average (Time). The threat of Yemen running dry grows nearer and nearer with every passing day. Streams and aquifers are growing shallower. The water table has fallen far below sustainable levels. The capital city, Sana’a’s water table was thirty meters below the surface in the late 1970s; it has now fallen to below 1,200 meters below the surface in some areas (Time). Experts estimate that Yemenis are using water that fell to the earth over 8,000 years ago. Making the situation worse is the exploding population of Yemen. Sana’a has the fastest growing population of any capital city, growing at seven percent a year.

  • Diversity in the Community Handbook
    South Yorkshire Diversity in the Community Diversity in the Community Handbook A reference guide to understanding the communities of South Yorkshire Introduction Understanding your Communities South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue (SYFR) is fully committed to the safety of the community in which it serves. For many years the organisation has gone to great lengths to understand the population of South Yorkshire in order to indentify the most vulnerable in society. This has proved extremely successful with fire deaths and injuries now at an all time low. Unfortunately fire deaths still occur and people’s homes and livelihoods are still at risk from fire. SYFR has recognised that within South Yorkshire the demographics for each station area is very different and the needs of those communities vary greatly. As a result, this handbook has been produced for SYFR personnel to gain a better understanding of their community needs, the associated risks and potential barriers to engagement at a station level. Contained within this document is useful information relating to ethnic groups, religions, community risks and cultural diversities within South Yorkshire. It is envisaged that armed with this easy to read accessible document, SYFR personnel and partners can fully immerse themselves into all aspects of the local community, thereby, fully embedding a culture of understanding and acceptance. For further information or support regarding work with diverse communities please contact; Kelly Jenkins Equality & Inclusion Advisor T: 0114 253 2288 M: 07979 516 849 E: [email protected] Within any community, there will be a wide range of backgrounds and social heritage, this handbook is designed as a guide only and the characteristics described may not apply to everyone.

  • Ari Ariel FOODWAYS and the ETHNICIZATION of YEMENI
    Mashriq & Mahjar 6, no. 2 (2019), 130–149 ISSN 2169-4435 Ari Ariel FOODWAYS AND THE ETHNICIZATION OF YEMENI IDENTITY IN ISRAEL Abstract The transformation of Yemeni food practices in Israel illustrates two contradictory processes. Yemeni Jewish immigrants used food in the process of becoming Israeli, but also to reimagine and preserve Yemeni-ness. To do both, they had to negotiate western stereotypes and pressure to assimilate into “modern” Israeli culture, while creating a single, homogenous Yemeni ethnic identity. Additionally, Yemeni food narratives evince a critique of Israeli absorption policies, and challenge aspects of Zionist ideology, while at the same time calling for inclusion in Israeli society and declaring their Zionism. INTRODUCTION This article argues that Yemeni Jewish immigrants used foodways as part of a strategy of integration into Israeli society.1 In the process their food practices were radically altered, as they adopted new foods and adapted themselves to modern Israeli manners, as defined by the hegemonic Ashkenazi population. At times, engagement with European Jews required negotiating their assumptions about the biblical nature of the Yemenis. While this biblical-ness marked the Yemeni Jews as primordial, even primitive, it could also be used to claim full inclusion in Israeli-ness, via an “authentic” link to the period of ancient Israel, the national golden age of Israeli historiography. Yemeni Jews, therefore, used traditional religious practice to make such claims. Nevertheless, they came under immense pressure to assimilate modern culture, including food practices. This necessitated the homogenizing of Yemeni cuisine(s), and changes in ingredients and cooking methods. After a brief overview of Yemeni Jewish immigration to Palestine and Israel from the late nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth centuries, this paper will focus on the 1950s, the period following the establishment of the State of Israel and the largest wave of Yemeni Jewish migration.

  • Injera 1 Injera
    Injera 1 Injera Injera Flatbread This meal, consisting of injera and several kinds of wat or tsebhi (stew), is typical of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. Place of origin: [1][2] Ethiopia, Eritrea and neighbouring countries Included in the national cuisines: Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen Main ingredient(s): Teff flour (sometimes wheat, barley, corn or rice flour) Recipes at Wikibooks: Injera Media at Wikimedia Commons: Injera Injera (Amharic, Tigrinya: እንጀራ ənǧära [ɨndʒəra], sometimes transliterated enjera; Oromo: budenaa; Somali: canjeero) is a yeast-risen flatbread with a unique, slightly spongy texture. Traditionally made out of teff flour,[3] it is a national dish in Ethiopia and Eritrea. A similar variant is eaten in Somalia and Djibouti (where it is called canjeero or lahooh), Yemen (where it is known as lahoh), and Sudan. Ingredients and cooking method The most valued grain used to make injera is from the tiny, iron-rich teff. However, its production is limited to certain middle elevations and regions with adequate rainfall, so it is relatively expensive for the average household. Because the overwhelming majority of highland Ethiopians are poor farming households that grow their own subsistence grain, wheat, barley, corn, and/or rice flour are sometimes used to replace some or all of the teff content. There are also different varieties of injera in Ethiopia, such as nech (white), kay (red) and tikur (black). In making injera, teff flour is mixed with water and allowed to ferment for several days, as with sourdough starter. As a result of this process, injera has a mildly sour taste.
